As the successor to the LGA 1155 socket, LGA 1150 processors feature improved performance and decreased thermal output. Though not the latest socket type, the Haswell lineup still has a few stars in its lineup which are known for their performance and flexibility to overclocking. Most notably the i5-4670k and i7 4770K which offer a great price to performance ratio. If you're looking to build an enthusiast PC but aren't yet ready to be an early adopter of the newer socket types, the LGA 1150 is a sweet spot with an already established line of processors and motherboards.
